@CurbsideShip116 Those aerial Google pictures showing the total destruction of Gaza indeed convey the message of how Israel acts out its genocide. But the real shocking images are the before-and-after pictures. The pictures where you see vibrant communities […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

This image shows a split-screen aerial comparison of Al-Najma Roundabout (دوار النجمة) in central Rafah, Gaza.

Top Image (After): Shows widespread devastation across the area. The dense network of buildings, homes, and infrastructure around the roundabout has been flattened or severely damaged, leaving predominantly gray rubble, clear ground, and stripped terrain. The adjacent green agricultural area on the right side is visibly reduced and degraded. A red banner at the top reads in Arabic: **"دوار النجمة وسط مدينة رفح"** (*Al-Najma Roundabout, Central Rafah City*).

Bottom Image (Before): Shows the same area prior to the destruction. It depicts a densely populated urban area featuring multi-story residential buildings, paved streets connecting at the central roundabout, and lush green agricultural fields and trees bordering the neighborhood to the right.

Good to see Penny Wong hopping mad about the (totally unsurprising) Israeli report into the circumstances of #ZomiFrankom's murder. She's clearly exasperated. Shame that outrage has not yet extended to Israel's genocide of Palestinians, but I guess you can't have everything. #AusPol
